Ordered Walkthrough

Step-by-Step First Match Execution

Follow these sequential actions when spawning into a fresh Total Conquest WW2 match.

1
Claim Starter Rewards & Check Lobby Commands
Join the verified Total Conquest [Beta] server by LDS Fighting. Click the Gift Box icon in the top right and redeem active code com to claim 1 Free Command Roll. Roll your tactical ability card in the match shop before deploying troops.
Pro Tip: Codes like com provide free tactical rolls that can grant high-tier cards such as Speed Blitz or Artillery Barrage.
2
Locate Home Capital & Scan Neutral Cities
Identify your starting province on the European map. Note your home capital icon and scan adjacent neutral territories. Prioritize high-yield neutral cities (look for yield multipliers >= 1.5x) over low-value empty land tiles.
Pro Tip: Capturing high-yield cities accelerates your passive troop production per server tick far more than capturing barren border provinces.
3
Execute Concentrated Early Expansion
Deploy your starting army in concentrated strike groups toward 1–2 target cities. Avoid distributing small troop numbers across many borders simultaneously, which weakens your attacking power and leaves captured tiles vulnerable.
Pro Tip: A single concentrated force takes neutral cities with fewer casualties than multiple fragmented squads.
4
Establish Chokepoint Border Defenses
Once key neutral cities are under your control, halt further advance and position defensive garrisons along natural chokepoints like rivers, mountain passes, or narrow borders facing active players.
Critical Warning: Never leave your home capital completely empty. If an opposing player captures your capital tile, your entire nation is instantly eliminated and annexed.
5
Stage Your Next Offensive Window
Allow your newly captured cities to generate several production cycles. Compare your accumulated troop strength against your neighbor's garrison. When you have numerical advantage and an offensive command ready, initiate your next push.
Pro Tip: Use the Troop Calculator to estimate how long you need to wait before reaching your target attack force.

Troubleshooting

Stuck-State Fixes for Beginners

Quick solutions when your early game does not go as planned.

Troops Depleting Too Fast

You are likely attacking fortified cities with small troop groups. Stop attacks, wait 2–3 production cycles, and attack with an overwhelming numerical force.

Attacked on Multiple Fronts

Pull back outer border detachments to your nearest fortified bottleneck city. In a 50-player FFA, never fight two wars at once; hold one border defensively.

Code Failed to Redeem

Verify exact lowercase entry com, remove trailing whitespace on mobile, and confirm server freshness before retrying.

Mistakes to Avoid

Common Early Match Errors

Avoid these four critical mistakes that cost new players their matches.

❌

Spreading Armies Paper-Thin

Sending 1 troop to every empty tile makes all your borders easy prey for neighbors.

❌

Leaving Capital Unguarded

Losing your capital tile eliminates your entire nation instantly. Keep a garrison reserve.

❌

Wasting Tactical Commands

Using cards like Artillery without infantry follow-up wastes their high cooldown and tactical value.

❌

Mixing Game Contexts

Roblox Total Conquest is a WW2 European map RTS, completely distinct from the 2013 mobile game.

Frequently Asked Questions

Beginner Strategy Q&A

Direct answers to frequent player questions regarding starting matches and opening territory.

What should a new player do first in Total Conquest?

Open the gift box in the top right to redeem active code com for a free command roll, locate your home capital on the European map, and focus on capturing 1–2 nearby high-yield neutral cities rather than spreading troops thin across empty borders.

How should a beginner choose an early territory?

Prioritize neutral cities with favorable production yields (such as 1.5x multiplier nodes) that connect directly to defensible terrain. Avoid expanding toward 3 or more player borders at once during the opening phase.

How do I protect my home capital from elimination?

Station a dedicated garrison at your capital province and fortify outer chokepoints. Total Conquest features a capital-elimination rule: losing your capital immediately eliminates your nation and surrenders all territory to the attacker.

What should I check before attacking another player's borders?

Check the scoreboard to compare troop reserves, confirm you have an active tactical command card ready (like Artillery Barrage or Speed Blitz), and verify that your rear borders are not vulnerable to a third-party sneak attack.
